GOLDEN FEATHER. 
GRASSES, ORNAMENTAL. 
These form a beautiful and attractive addition to the 
Flower Garden ; their graceful forms give a pleasing relief 
to the brilliancy of their showy companions. When care- 
fully dried, they are useful in making up winter bou- 
quets, etc. 
Cut when in full bloom, tie in small bunches and 
hang up in a dry, dark place, with heads down. They are 
nearly all annuals; those which are perennials should be 
marked, so they will not be destroyed as weeds. Sow in 
May, and transplant or thin them out so as to give sufficient 
space for each to grow.
